Few people know this but one of my biggest pet peeves is pumpkins outside houses past November 30. And what’s worse are pumpkins next to Christmas and Hanukkah displays. For better or worse Charlie has inherited a similar decorative pickiness. As I put up our wreath-boxwood with gold ribbon and little gold dreidels- Charlie became insistent that I remove the dreidels because he wanted the wreath just to be for Christmas. “It is a Christmas wreath. Not a hannuka wreath. Only for Christmas.” I explained I thought it was a cute way to decorate for both holidays and that we could make the holidays and celebrate however we like. In the end I had to make a deal with him tht I would remove the dreidels as soon as hannuka is over.
